@@CactusBomb we want gta 6 not some shitty remaster
@@CactusBomb not to sound rude tho

@@CactusBomb ye
San Andreas is my all time favourite and will always be ❤❤❤ I am 31 right now. I played it first when I was 17 years old. I play it now sometimes in my phone. After 60 when I retire I will ensure I atleast play the full game once. ❤️❤️❤️
it's the best
Same. Hit me and the peak of my gaming years
I played San Andreas as a kid and finished it twice, for me, I know I’m different but for me, damn, San Andreas & Mafia 2 went hard for me. I somehow really engaged with the characters. Peak of enjoyment for me.
I just 100% completed SA for the first time a few days ago. I've beat it prob 15 times but never went for the hundo. Still my favorite game of all time.
Mine too, the original graphics, the music, the jokes, the dialogues and the voice actors, everything made it the greatest game I played in my childhood.
I started playing the series with gta3. Though i was a kid, I understood it was just a game and my parents were cool enough to buy me the games as they came out. 3, vice city, San Andreas and gta 4. By the time 5 came out I was old enough to get it on my own for once as an adult. Every game is amazing and holds a dear spot in my heart. Truly revolutionary games.
100% exactly what I wanted to say
That's true
I was born in 2002, I never play the gta iv, but I play the gta v in 2014 on my ps3
@@Marquinhos485hope you played sand adreas
1:15 fun fact: while race and chase is still in development, there was a bug that made the cops become very psychotic where the psychotic cops give an inspiration to the creation of the gta series
Wait are you copy me and btw are you Indonesia?

Oh yeah this is awesome! Well done flatlife, and keep making videos.

super awesome video. This new trailer for GTA 6 was so cool, I re-did it with some real-life footage :) th-cam.com/video/aEnhSFwgmTQ/w-d-xo.html
I only played Vice City ... And that is legendary ❤
Wait you didn't play San Andreas, trust me, you missed a part of you life, you missed that whole experience, that nostalgia🤧
maybe you are right😣@@adityathakur7447
Gta: San Andreas
Was my childhood, i remember playing it when i was 5
I Played Vice City when I was 5 I remember playing it on one of my family member’s PS2.
Wait you played an 18+ game when you are 5?
@@scoundrel8440 i am 5 year old when i played it so i don't know what I'm doing and i don't understand what they saying
@@scoundrel8440 I Did I’m 13.
@Kosorou Gaming Studio Archives uncalled for
Also: In gta v every character has their representative colours.
Franklin : Green
Micheal : Blue
Trevor : Orange
And the controller light bar will light one of those colours, for example The PS4 controller lightbar will change to the one of the representative colours from the characters.
I remember getting wanted stars the first time and thought it was so cool how the controller would blink red and blue
@@TheCityLightzOh yes that is also a feature
Holy shit never realised that. Really neat features.
nice fact i never heard about it since i play with pc
Thanks captain obvious
Fun fact: GTA 3 was banned in Australia
Can confirm, but yeah it was unbanned once they censored stuff
@@dhrumildave4221 It's ironic, that a huge island, who was once used by Great Britain for departing criminals to, is censoring everything. 😆
And gta 1 was banned in Brazil
GTA SA was the first ever GTA game to become a meme (such as Big Smoke's "You picked the wrong house, fool!" line and his order)!
Not true
We can confirm every GTA game was a masterpiece .let’s hope they don’t screw it up for gta 6
Well they are still doing GTA 6 for 9 years so there's a huge chance it'll be great and it won't look rushed
Yh they won't...
Red dead anyways confirms it
@Gaming ZONE GAZO gta trilogy the only bad GTA game.
@Gaming ZONE GAZO yup that was rushed af tho . Lmao I forgot

Rockstar has always been known to outdo themselves with their game series, most notably Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto, which means they kind of have to implement features similar to Red Dead Redemption 2 plus a little bit more, I think a lot of the features in RDR2 would be fantastic in a potential GTA VI. Interacting with strangers on the street to learn of opportunities, house robberies or burglaries, a more detailed wanted system, like the cops not forgetting who you are immediately after losing your wanted level and maybe some steps you have to do to become anonymous again, and of course extreme attention to detail, a more interactive world, a fantastic story with great characters and improved physics. If we get all these things I will be completely fine with how long it’s taking them to release a new major GTA game.
True
I used to buy ZX Spectrum games from one of the 2 coders for the original GTA. He had a shop in Lincoln UK and went on to start RockStar Lincoln. :)
Agreed
Maybe also not getting a death sentence by simply bumping into a cop or something, they just pull out their guns a start blasting.
The first GTA I played was in ,2006 when I was 10, San Andreas. Until I did research, I had no idea games like Vice City and Liberty City existed.
Whut? It usually was sold together as a trilogy
I just discovered “ 99 Luftballons “ it’s such an amazing song
Who is here after gta 6 trailer
me
Damn, I have been watching your videos since the start. It’s crazy how much subscribers you gained in such a small amount of time. Good job man

@@Twten SAME
I'm 16. My first gta is vice city, i played the game when i was around 5. My brother taught me how to play but i didn't finish the game. I finished the game recently.
Great memories
i remember doing co-op with my older brother on san andreas. downloading the trilogy right now on my ps, good memories
Why is not 1 or 2 or even 3
You forgot, 2025:GTA 6
Great video Great content I love GTA like many I grew up playing these games I've played all of them I've played since I was a kid I'm a month shy from turning 34 and still play Gta, thanks for the memory lane really brought tears to my eyes, thanks again
I can already see the nostalgia imma get from this video ❤
Me too lol, good watching :)
same
*nostalgia
Isn't that why we're here?
Ah yes, relive our childhood with the Definitive Edition, the most frowned upon game in the series that isnt even a month old
I like some of these videos but I can’t get over “finally we can relive our childhood with better graphics.” More like relive our childhood with game-breaking bugs and glitches, Lego-looking characters, and broken combat 😂
My first gta game is vice city but as a kid I only roamed around the map because I did not know we had to do missions lol
But after I became older I started playing gta vice city properly.
Hey I have been through the same thing XD
Don’t people do that in every gta
@@BeachBear64 I guess they do but as a kid I had no clue about missions
"all you need to do is to follow the damn train cj!"
Flatlife thank you for paying tribute to the best game franchise ever
Facts
9:29, Flatlife Is rapping
GTA 6: 300 million copies sold
GTA San Andreas is nostalgic for me.
Finnaly someone who instead of just telling the evolution, Hes also telling us the history
(And kinda a bit of the timeline)
Oh, boy! A GTA video? From Flatlife no less?! HYPE!!!
i love how he talks about "better" graphics in gta trilogy and doesn't talk bout the "details"
Thats the most detailed and interesting gta series video i ever saw
I watched this 5 times and I loved it, thank you @Flatlife!
That lil upward view still had weight playing it what a time!
Finally someone who talks about "all GTA games" and actually includes GTA 1 and 2!
Please do an “Evolution of Call Of Duty”
I started watching your videos a couple months ago and im hooked on them now. i love your videos and you should keep up the good work. well done flatlife!
Thank you so much Luke!
@@Flatlife don't thank me! You do great jobs on your videos and I love them! ⊂((・▽・))⊃
Can anyone outsmart bullet yet?
3 was a MASSIVE step and first time seeing it blew me away
GTA3 changed EVERYTHING!!!
That army tank cheat was legendary
“And finally in 2999, an expansion for GTA V was released.”
flatlife failed to mention the ultra realistic physics evolution of GTA games. especially GTA IV
It's crazy how they started the game as 2d, and now being known as one of the best realistic 3d graphic game
Nah, the most realistic 3D game is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
matako
GTA IV will release in 2025, waiting for it, just want to see the graphics.
9:03 when the song comes*
me: oh shit this is my jam right here boi
5:44... You know TH-cam likes this guy when he is sponsoring things at 208k. Great work, Flatlife!
i like that you dont add nonsense of info and you are not annoying as a commentator like others that drag videos for the sake of 10 minute mark. very well made video keep up buddy
SAY HELLO TO MY LIL FRIEND got me dying
Omg this video is awsome. I started playing gta 5 a couple days ago again after some years and now I get to see this video. Amazinggg
GTA is not a game. It's an emotion ❤️❤️
Huh??????

Fun fact: There is a car chase movie from 1977 also called Grand theft auto.
Nice video! Thanks!
Thank you so much Man I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time
My first game in the series was actually GTA Advance, which I played often but don't know the mechanics when I was an 5-6 years old. Now, as 13 years old, I pretty much enjoy entering cheats for the 3D trilogy
You were 6 playing GTA lol my first GTA game I played game was grand theft auto 3
Why is not 1 or 2 or 3 why the gba game of The série and not 1 or 2 or 3
@@cristiano4164 That's what I have back then lmfao, consoles are darn expensive (and still is) in my country, so I was pretty lucky having a GBA and a few games as a hand me down back then. I also used a tablet back when I was a lil dumb kid, and I pretty much don't know if the GTA trilogy was released on that platform back then, all I knew was Talking Tom and Talking Ben
Now I have almost all of them, 1 to 4 (with the expansions) and I enjoyed playing either SA or 4 on Linux or Windows (if Proton doesn't work).
So yeah, hope you understand
@@cristiano4164 both actually lmfao
@@lucss21a the game is ok not great just ok
We can all agree that the peak GTA games ever had was 2004.
The writing, voicing, and the size of the game for other 2004 competitor games was revolutionary and mindblowing.
No, we can’t all agree.
@@philnleblanc6664yes we can agree.
San Andreas is still the peak of GTA
It was been a year since I been playing San Andreas when I was like 7 years old in 2004? and now I'm back for playing Grand Theft Auto Games and it was a huge hit and was a masterpiece
i remember playing some really old GTA versions ahhhh it really takes me back
ありがとう
I was waiting for this(Thank you so much 😀)
One of the best narrations. 👌🏾
“Time relive our childhood!”
Rockstar: what did you say you played our game when you were CHILD 😡
Fun Fact: In GTA 3 you can change the camera to a top down view in a similar style to GTA 1 & 2
I remember when I was a kid I would get home from school and play vice city stories all day
I would play San Andreas
GTA 5 is my FIRST EVER game I played in 2015 I love it
Now we got GTA6 in 2025 i can't wait its gonna sell 200 million copies and be the biggest game ever.
I love flatlife he does such amazing animation revolution videos!!
I love GTA games, and I think this is one of your best videos.
thanks for this video man I'm huge gta fan❤️💙
So many memories are flooding back from watching this video
1997: oh a circle
1999: WASTED
2001: caprice
2002: DONT annoy me
2004: aw shit, here we go again.
2008: buriskan cars
2013: yee yee ass haircut.
11:33
2008: Niko! Let's go bowling!
Not buriskan car
It could be
Yellow car
Or
Nika les go bowling
Just by comparing gta 3 to gta 2 shows how different the very first game used to look like.
GTA in 1997 was so fun! I miss the good ol days!
Well guys, it’s been a longggg wait.
It’s Currently 24th December 2023, which means only one more days wait for the GTA 6 trailer!!
12 years has gone by so fast.
From Kids to to adults.
Time to bring back that childhood excitement we have long waited for.
Catch you in the lobby!!
Keep well guys.
Take care!
[1997-2013]
Sadly the last gta game come out almost 9 years ago!
The reason GTA 6 wasn't released was because they may still be bugtesting, glitch fixing, and other stuff, which makes it longer to release GTA 6. I think GTA 6 will also have the biggest map of app the GTA versions.
this channel and the content within it is great

Why I Can Always Watch With Turkish Subtitles :)
Thanks Translator and Flatlife !
I knew it!! I really sense that nikko is so like the ex-convict/ hunter from behind enemy lines that owen's character killed. 😅
8:50 - I love the background music while the narrator is talking about a kid eliminating his family.
8:31 the happiest music ever in the background
1:31 Quick correction here San Andreas isn"t based on San Francisco. San Fierro is based on San Francisco. San Andreas according to me comes under Los Santos which is based on Los Angeles.
In the original GTA San Andreas was just based off San Francisco. It wasn't until GTA:SA that it became a whole state.
@@cassandraking6603 Didn't get what you're trying to tell but ok.
All praise and thanks be to our mighty CJ 😆❤️❤️. I LOVE SAN ANDREAS TO DEATH MY GRANDMA PLAYS IT
@@gamergod2766 in gta 1 san andreas was a single city and was based off san francisco. but when gta sa was made they instead turned san andreas into a whole state instead of a single city. and renamed the city of the original san andreas from the first game, into san fierro.
"within just 24 hours of release Grand Theft Auto V generated more than $815M in revenue"
That's crazy
Come fly with me😊
Loving this
I was waiting for this video. My life is complete
fun fact:gtaV had more plants in the trailer but most of then were removed bc it was running with 9-10 fps on the most powerfull pc at the time
Woah didn't know that
Playing fast and loose with the word fun there bro. Sorry. I'll give it one more read but it's not fun. Note worthy. OK on third read it's kinda given me fun. Thank you.
Who else came to see gta 5 trailer after watching gta 6 trailer
im here dude
For GTA 6 it would be nice to see a female playable character . Someone whose a mob boss or king pins daughter whose avenging her fathers demise and keeping the family business going
I thought GTA V sold about 43 million copies but it caught me off guard when the actual sales were more than 150 million.
Love these videos, animation is awesome. Can you do a Ford Evolution of their F series or F 100- F 150?
Funfact: GTA San Andreas also has character switching between CJ, Cesar and Sweet in beta
now here after release of gta 6 trailer
Would love to see an Evolution of Metal Gear. :-)
Well I didn't expect this, you'd make an evo on GTA?!
Hey Claude Speed is a legend! Show some respect!!!
I started playing this series from day 1, and then loved the 1969 expansion pack of the first game… lost interest after I completed the 4th one, 2023 I finally started the 5th one, it’s fun and I cannot wait for the 6th one!
Grew up playing GTA Advance.
GTA Advance is so fun to play
Also GTA 2's Gang system was so cool, just wish it was made into the 3D GTAs
san andreas kinda tried it
Now that's what i was waiting for....
i love your videos
I just randomly find this channel. Now I'm addict too.. 😅
